Abstract: | Including external fields Devonshire's theory of ferroelectric phase transitions leads to a type of second-order transitions for which the order parameter is different from zero below and aboveT c . Although in a certain limiting case the order parameter becomes zero aboveT c the resulting theory is nevertheless different from the usual Landau-theory suggesting the existence of different types of systems undergoing second-order phase transitions. |
